When to Use 3-3-5 Formation

Wide Coverage for Blitz Defense

The 3-3-5 formation spreads the team's coverage wide with 3 Defensive Linemen, 3 Linebackers and 3 Defensive Backs, keeping the fronts and rears of all sides and distances reachable by at least one player.

The thin but widespread defensive net of 3-3-5 makes it best for Blitz defense strategies in order to create maximum confusion on the field.
